I have not written anything for a long time, but no I have pulled myself together and will update the blog. Last time I wrote I was very worried about Wen, but luckily the medicine worked out just as it´s supposed to do and Wen regained her health. On 2010.10.11 she gave birth to 3 lovely kittens. Not the largest kittens we have had but very strong! Now the kittens are 3 weeks old and they are just sooo lovely! This is the best litter we have had! I have been very curious about what type of kittens Mufasa would give us, and I have to say that I´m very pleased with this litter.   Right now I can´t stand the thougth of them leaving our home, but I´m sure that in due time it will be ok.

I would like to do a little presentation of those 3 small ones, and first of all - the theme is Thundercats! Thundercats is a cartoon that was popular in the 80´s and Finn-Ove loved this cartoon. We try to find themes for our litters that migth be a little bit different from every other breeders, and so far we have managed this.

First of the kittens are the firstborne (N)Bekmørtnans Lion-O. He is a redpointed boy. He is a quiet and calm boy, does not move very much in a day    I think he looks like a little polarbear, only with red ears

All 3 6 days old

Wen is an excellent mam and everything is just nice and cosy. Actually she´s doing so great as a mam that we have changed our plans about her. This litter was planned to be her last litter, but we have decided to have another litter after a while. Right now it looks like one of the girls are going to Sweden, but they are to young to decide which one yet. And I have to say that we are very happy that all 3 kittens are balineses!

I have used my birthdaypresent from Finn-Ove, a video-camera and the films are uploaded to YouTube. Here are the links:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sNnzE76EuI   and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYPxRUWl_IU

In a week or so our Faffa (Bekmørtnans Spitfire) will have her first litter. The father is Muffin (FIN* Fercatin Isaber Mufasa JW) and we hope for well typed kittens in this litter too.

Muffin will mate Kikki (Himmeltinden´s Dark Rose sia h) as soon as she´s in heat, which should happen during the following week. I do look forward to this litter as well!

For the first time our newborn kittens and their mam are placed in their own room, and for Wen it was quite difficult to settle down at first. But when the kittens were 4-5 days she relaxed and stopped to shout to us to make us open the door. Her kittens were born in our livingroom, and I think our next litters will be born here as well.

In Pawpeds G3 I have struggled with the genetics (this is not my sort of assigments, can´t wrap my head around this s...) But finally I managed to find the rigth answers and now week 4 is just a bad memory. Breeding and selection is more up my alley so I hope that I would be able to make a decent assigment in this theme. Last week Pawpeds G1 started, and I´m one of the teachers there. It´s a new situation for me and I feel quite insecure in my new role. But thanks to a clever, kind and helpful lady I have managed to do what I´m supposed to do. This lady is the same lady that helped me through the genetics in G3 - Dagny Dickens. I will always be thankful for her help!
